ROCKSTAR have revealed the new Grand Theft Auto 5 expansion that will bring big changes to those playing GTA Online.

The GTA 5 update includes massive changes to GTA Online with Freemode Events

Fans are set to get new Freemode Events next week, with Rockstar claiming it will give players access to a range of seamlessly integrated games and challenges in GTA Online.

This will mean no menus, lobbies, or load times and will instead see the open Freemode sessions filled with even more chaos as new games and challenges appear.

Rockstar explains: "One of these events can kick off at any given moment while in Freemode, and you can customise your session to decide exactly which ones will happen – so you can play as much or as little of this new content as you like.

"With countless variations on each Freemode Event, there are tons of unique new experiences, each offering new opportunities for reaping GTA$ and RP in GTA Online.

"The Freemode Events Update also brings the Rockstar Editor to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with new features (also being added for current PC users as well) such as an ambient audio and sound effects library, Snapmatic integration, Director Mode updates and more."

Rockstar went in-depth about one of these new events, called King of the Castle, a free-for-all deathmatch where players will need to ascend and claim the designated ‘castle’ as their territory.

Defence is key too, with competitors needing to fend off everyone else as they go all out to claim the throne for themselves.

Another mode, Hunt the Beast, was also revealed and will include one volunteer temporarily being transformed into a faster, stronger, beastly character who must escape relentless pursuers.

Stunt challenges will also be part of the new Freemode Events, including traits like performing the longest wheelie, catching the most air in a land vehicle, or performing the most near misses in a vehicle without crashing.

The new update will also include new Adversary Mode challenges and the Rockstar Editor for PS4 and Xbox One.

"Also included with next week's update are two brand new Adversary Modes. First, Hunting Pack: you’re part of a team tasked to deliver a priority vehicle rigged to explode if it drops below a minimum speed, while your opponents race, ram and batter to take it down," the Rockstar post adds.

"Or try Cross the Line, where heavily-armed squads face off across a neutral zone – with the goal of having all team members strategically penetrate their opponents territory to claim victory."
